teamXXXrob Posted January 15, 2007 Share Posted January 15, 2007 I'm new to osCommerce and did some searching on this forum but couldn't find anything that helps me... I have my whole store setup and ready to go live except for the Information section (Shipping & Returns, Privacy Notice and Conditions of Use). I can't figure out how or where to input this information. I was told i can't do it from the admin control panel. Any help would be gladly appreciated. Thanks.

If you want to put/modify the contents of these files... then that are in includes/languages/english/conditions.php /contact_us.php... etc filenot sure for shipping & return.

DreamStars Posted January 15, 2007 Share Posted January 15, 2007 There's no coding it is already done. Here is how to access it. Go to admin. Click on Tools (on the left sidebar), then on file manager in the sub menu. Click on the includes folder icon until it opens. Sometimes it takes two clicks... sometimes more... not sure why but just click it until you see the contents of the includes folder and it says File Manager<br><wherever you have the files stored in your directory>/catalog//includes Do the same thing on the languages and the english folder until you get down to <wherever you have the files stored in your directory>/catalog//includes/languages/english. In this folder you will see a file named shipping.php Click on the file name once to select it, then click the EDIT button at the upper right corner of the page. shipping.php will come up in an editing window. Scroll down near the top of the file and after this statement define('TEXT_INFORMATION', ' type the text you want on the page. You MAY use html tags to format your page. Here is an example of what my file looks like: define('TEXT_INFORMATION', 'SHIPPING COSTS BASED ON ORDER SUBTOTAL: <br>Up to $9.99 is $4.99. <br>$10-$39.99 is $10.95. <br>$40-$74.99 is $13.45. <br>$75-$199.99 is $17.95. <br>$200 and over, call for details. <br>Please allow about 2 to 3 days from the date of your order for it to be packaged, shipped, and show up in the UPS tracking system. <br>When your tracking number is available to us, we will e-mail it to you along with a direct link to UPS Tracking so you can easily follow your order. <br>Shipping to Alaska, Hawaii, and all APO/FPO (Military) orders is by USPS Air Mail and will take 7 to 10 business days from the order date. <br>The rate for shipping to Alaska or Hawaii is 55% of the sub-total of your order. <br>The minimum charge for shipping to Alaska or Hawaii is $15. <br>A tracking number is NOT provided when USPS is used.');?> <p>Please take special notice that your text goes between ' define('TEXT_INFORMATION', ' and ');?> INCLUDING the punctuation marks. You can do the same thing in any of these pages inside the includes/languages/english folder to change the text that appears on each of the pages such as specials.php, download.php, or even index.php. Just change the wording between the quotes and html format it however you like with fonts, sizes, colors, and placements. Hope this helps. My shipping page is at http://dreamstars.com/catalog/shipping.php...d398426d1cd646c if you would like to see what the above file changes look like.

Please set the right user permissions on: /home/teamxxxr/public_html/osstore/includes/languages/english/shipping.php How do i change my permissions?
